OVERVIEW AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 1—OVERVIEW AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
OVERVIEW
DeFi Development Corp. (“DeFi Dev", the “Company”, "we", "our", "us") is a company focused on building and managing a digital asset treasury centered on the Solana blockchain ecosystem. We also provide an online platform that connects the commercial real estate industry by providing data and software subscriptions as well as value-add services to multifamily and commercial property professionals.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies, critical accounting estimates, segment reporting, or recently issued accounting pronouncements from those disclosed in Note 1—Overview and Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) interim reporting guidelines under Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X (17 CFR Part 210) for smaller reporting companies. The December 31, 2025 condensed consolidated Balance Sheet was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with SEC on March 30, 2026.
In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations for all interim periods presented. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or any other interim periods.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DeFi Dev and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications have been made to prior periods to conform to classifications used in the current period. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results.
Stock Splits
On May 6, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a seven-for-one forward stock split of the Company's common stock to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 19, 2025. All share, per share data and related pricing have been adjusted to reflect the previously mentioned stock splits for all periods presented.
Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions. Our most significant estimates and assumptions relate to valuation of financial instruments, valuation of share-based compensation and our valuation allowances on deferred taxes. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using the most current information available and changes are made in the period they are known.
Fair Value Measurements
We determine fair value measurements for certain assets and liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"), which defines fair value as the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants. ASC 820 establishes a framework for valuation techniques, prioritized by reliability, according to the following tiers:
Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; valuation models in which all significant inputs are derived from observable market data
Level 3Unobservable valuation model inputs for assets and liabilities such as discounted cash flow models or similar techniques; inputs for fair value instruments; includes assumptions and may require significant judgment and estimation by management
We use this framework to measure the fair value of certain financial instruments on a recurring basis, such as our cash and cash equivalents, debt securities, marketable securities, digital assets pledged as collateral, digital assets at fair value, digital asset financing arrangements, as well as on a non-recurring basis for our acquisitions and impairment testing on our property and equipment, intangible assets and digital assets, at carrying value, convertible notes and pre-funded warrants. We also use this framework for disclosure purposes related to certain items, such as debt and our off-balance sheet transactions. See Note 14—Fair Value Measurements, for further discussion.
Concentrations of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company generally maintains balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality, in amounts that may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held at financial institutions.
Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk related to our digital asset holdings, collateral associated with our digital asset financing arrangements and digital asset financing arrangements, which are impacted by the fair value of the respective underlying digital asset. We performed a sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in the fair value of these digital assets to demonstrate the potential impact on our financial results.
The following table presents the hypothetical market risk impact on our digital asset holdings:
(in thousands)Three Months Ended
March 31, 2026
Digital assets, at fair value$11,260 
Digital assets, at carrying value3,558 
Digital assets pledged as collateral10,351 
Digital asset financing arrangements(5,848)
Total hypothetical impact on (loss) income before income taxes$19,321 
Our market risk exposure on our digital asset financing arrangements is inherently offset, in part, by the amount of the borrowed digital asset remaining in our digital asset holdings and by the associated collateral posted for these digital asset financing arrangements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Expense Disaggregation Disclosure
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures ("ASU 2024-03"), which enhances transparency by requiring public entities to disclose more detailed information about their income statement expenses. This includes disaggregating specific natural expense categories, like employee compensation and depreciation, within certain expense captions. ASU 2024-03 applies to public entities with annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the period had or is expected to have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
